Government intervention and regulation in any industry can cause massive problems for companies. In fact, if an industry is over regulated, the companies simply leave the country. Even christmas movies can help explain this phenomenon! Just watch the clip below from Fred Claus the movie about a bureaucrat cancelling christmas.

If you go back 100years ago, everybody was actively engaged in, and interested in politics. In present times, it is the complete opposite. I know that when I go home to spend christmas with my family they will take pity that I engage myself in current affairs. I’m sure other people who involve themselves will also experience the same thing. Nobody is interested anymore.

But to not be interested in politics itself is a dangerous thing. This is because democracy relies on all of the people and their individual views.

Anyone who says they are not interested in politics is like a drowning man who insists he is not interested in water

Yet people are understandably bored by politicians, who in modern times act like robots, trained to spew the same rhetoric over and over. But how do these politicians get away with doing this? The answer is simple, its because of the lack of interest in politics by the majority. If everyone was actively involved and engaged, politicians would be made to answer questions with real answers or face real public revolt.

In the current situation, not only does a lack of interest bode well for those in power, but it also fuels bigger government. This is not good from a libertarian perspective!
